Note
Seasonally chilly--it never made it out of the 20s today. Plenty of new snow for running at Happy Jack, with liberal coatings of snow and ice on trees, rocks, fences, power lines--you name it.
Didn't see much in the way of tracks, even though I ran at the tail end of the day. The complete inventory consisted of: 1 set of ski tracks, one set of footprints, 2 sets of snow shoe tracks, some dog tracks, and some fox tracks (yesterday I saw one of the foxes, a fairly un-shy red fox.) Most of the time I was running in snow that was totally untouched--a really beautiful landscape in the late afternoon light. Adding to the experience was a rare absence of any breeze--quite the contrast to yesterday's demon winds!
The best part was coming across any number of snowdrifts, up to about 3' high, none of which had been present yesterday. Great conditions for putting my exceptional 11" (and growing) vertical leap to use!

Note
I will add that even though it didn't snow much today, it did snow some, and that made it 7 days in a row that we had snow. That made up for having almost no precipitation at all for nearly the first three weeks of April.
